Sunday: Keynote speaker: Malcolm Gladwell
You can register for ISTEVision and watch Malcolm Gladwell's keynote address. If you plan to watch the speech at school, try to do it ourtside of school hours because the video streaming slows down the network.
It is an interesting talk about what breeds success and what might make successful learning environments for our students. His story features Fleetwood Mac and other success stories about meaningful learning, attitude and effort. Worth the time! http://www.istevision.org/watch.php?vid=74ea308893d6a4494d290b30c82cabd8cf02c4ec
Enough talk about students being different. Lets focus on specific strategies to challenge students with H.E.A.T. (higher-order thinking, engaged learning, authentic assessment, and technology). - Christopher Moersch, LoTi Connection http://istevision.org/watch.php?vid=3b18f6d41298676c79ca4a89912aa9c89572a311
